Honor Our Seniors. Build the Future.
Inspired by this year’s senior class and everything ahead for Rise Above, a generous donor has committed a $15,000 matching gift to help us take the next step forward.
Every dollar given through this special campaign will be matched dollar for dollar while matching funds remain available. That means your support goes twice as far in helping Rise Above grow into what comes next.
A special challenge created to celebrate legacy, momentum, and the future of Rise Above Performing Arts.
Inspired by this year’s seniors. Focused on what comes next.
This matching challenge was created in honor of a senior class that has helped shape Rise Above in extraordinary ways.
It also comes at a meaningful moment for our organization as we continue building toward a bigger future — with more opportunities for students, more room for creativity, and more ways to serve our community through the performing arts.
Your gift helps carry that momentum forward.
- $15,000 in gifts will be matched dollar for dollar.
- This challenge was inspired by the impact of this year’s senior class.
- It is also rooted in the exciting future ahead for Rise Above.
- Unlike the Giving Challenge, this match is not limited to small gifts only.
